US Nationals at Stanford University

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I will complete my long course season this week at the 2011 USA Swimming National Championships here at Stanford University from August 2-6. This meet is a bit of a homecoming for me seeing how I spent 5 years at Stanford for my college years and one year after working. When I saw US Nationals was at Stanford, I knew I had to go. This will be another chance to swim fast and a great chance to see a bunch of friends in the Stanford area.

I will be representing Team Canada at the meet, but I still feel like I am representing Stanford at this pool. Since this meet is a selection meet for the US team for Pan American Games, they are not allowing foreigners (those whose sport nationality is for another country and thus cannot represent the US internationally) to swim in their finals. So, I will just be competing in the morning preliminary heats. I will be swimming some relays for Team Canada in the finals Tuesday and Saturday night.

Schedule:

Tuesday: 100 breast (1:03.46), 400 free relay (3:24.44)

Thursday: 100 breast time trial

Saturday: 200 breast, 400 medley relay

Prelims begin at 9 am PT, Finals at 6 pm PT
